Cataloging: Periodicals

[Konda Wightman <konda_wightman@EDUC8.ORG>]

Hi,
We are using Follett Web Collection Plus in our 22 library district and some
of the libraries have periodicals to loan.  These show up in the union
catalog, but when you pull them up by title, all you get is the record and
then it tells you that there are "175 copies".  These were originally
cataloged using the year as the call number.  I know that people won't call
these up by call number, but what do the rest of you do if you catalog
periodicals and allow people to request a hold on a particular issue?  Do
you just have them put the issue in the hold request? Or do you add copy
information to the MARC record?  I just can't find enough examples of
libraries that catalog periodicals to arrive at a solution.  Thanks for any
help you can give us on this.
